Who here rides pedal bikes too? Road/mountain?
I was/am a big mountain biker, have been for ages, but stuck where there is no nearby mountain biking. Road's been something I've variously tried and let go of.
And today, I had someone pull an absolute doozy in front of me on the moto and in panic braking, I reacted on the levers like I would on a bicycle, since I'm a few weeks old as a motorcycle owner. Slight oops but it all worked out OK....clutch shoulda been in, and I modulated both brakes alright.
But if I'd have locked a wheel I'd probably have let off on the wrong lever and either stalled the bike or continued in a rear-wheel skid, confused as to why I was crashing since I'd released what I took to be the rear brake in my split-second natural reaction.
Now I see why all the motocross guys run their mountain bike brakes reversed. Might have to do that on the pedal bike when I get it rebuilt.
